okay, the SR oil pan is dented in, as usual, so i want to remove it and replace it with a better one.

i already removed the bolts that hold the oil pan to the block, but the seal on is super strong. Ive tried to jam a screwdriver between it and had no luck, what do you guys suggest? did you guys have to go through this when you removed your pan?

I use a gasket scraper and a hammer. *shrug*

I took a paint scraper and slid it between the block and pan, then slid it halfway around the motor and it poped off.

Or you can do it the lazy way...you can buy these gasket remover spray from kragen and itll literally melt the gasket off it. Making it alot easier to stick a scrapper between the pan and block.
